Upon seeing Lin Qiye's movement, Cao Yuan took a deep breath and slowly moved his hand away from the knife handle...

After the headless man bisected Li Shaoguang, he showed no intention of continuing his attack on Lin Qiye and his companion. Instead, he stood quietly in place, his body slightly turned towards them, dragging his beheading knife as if in contemplation.

At the same time, an extreme darkness spread from Lin Qiye's body, enveloping Cao Yuan as well. Within this darkness, their heartbeats were deliberately blocked by Lin Qiye, preventing the sound from reaching beyond the shadows.

It seemed that after confirming the absence of any sound nearby, the headless man turned and continued to move forward slowly, dragging the exaggeratedly shaped beheading knife.
